Happy National Candy Day!

Of course, a lot of people would argue that National Candy Day was actually a few days ago, on Halloween. But today is the official day.

Let me throw open the comments section and ask the question: what is your favorite candy? If you had only one candy that you could eat for the rest of your life, what would it be? This is ridiculously hard for me, but I guess if pressed I'd have to say Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (or peanut butter cups in general).

(And if you're looking to buy candy online, check out Hometown Favorites and Sweet Nostalgia.)

My absolute favorite candy bar is something from when I was a kid in Missouri - a big chunk of a thing called a Cherry Mash, I think they were made in St. Joseph, Missouri, maybe. Was chocolate on the outside with a wonderful bright pink cherry-red nougat on the inside.

Frozen they're a little too tough.

Room temp is fine and I've enjoyed them deep fried as well.
